Chosen above all women to give to the world its Saviour, God-Incarnate, Mary carried with her the source of all holiness, first, as was fitting, to the home of Elizabeth, which she sanctified; she sanctified the mother of him who was destined to be the precursor of our Saviour; she sanctified the precursor himself, anointing him, as it were, before his birth and made him worthy of his sublime mission.
